Okay, so i went to this race yesterday (It was a 10k run) and there was this guy about my age, like a year older, and he won the race. Well he's realllyyyy cute and I've seen him before because i was on cross country and at the meets a bunch of different school compete against eachother. So, when i got home a couple hours later, I sent him a friend request on facebook because we have about 40 mutual friends so i didnt think it would seem too weird. Well like 5 hours passed and he hadn't accepted it yet. My stepmom (She was like the person who made the race) got a friend request from him and he messaged her about the race today. So i went and canceled my friend request because it seemed like he didn't want to be friends with me I though, since he had been on since i sent it to him and requeted my stepmom... Was that the right thing to do? Should I friend him again.. or would that be too creepy? Help
